I bought this CD last week, and I am really enjoying it. There have been remarks about it being a "manufactured " band, but you would'nt know it from listening to this CD. I was very moved by the efforts of the original members to try and increase their membership, and keep the Band going. I have no connection with collieries whatsoever, but the bands they created in their heydey were wonderful.It would be such a shame to see them die out. My good wishes go to the members of this band. I hope they continue to make brilliant music for many years to come!
I recommend this CD to those who love Brass Band Music.

After seeing the TV programme I thought I would invest in a copy of the CD to support the band a bit. Recorded in the local Dinnington Lyric theatre this CD is packed full of great brass band classics and sounds every bit the professional studio production that you'd expect from a major release like this.
I'd like to congratulate the band on producing such a professional and capable sound. If anyone is in two minds because they think the standard may be below par - don't worry, you will support a good cause AND get a great selection of tunes that you'll be humming (and whistling) all day long! My particular favourites are Abide With Me, The Great Escape and the Sheffield United anthem "Annie's Song" - (I'm pretty sure any blades fan will stand three inches taller after hearing it played in such a majestic way!)
The standard on the CD is really good, the band sound tight and together under their new musical director. I hope the band do continue to go "onwards and upwards" and really get the full support of their community behind them. Long may it continue!

Definitely a Band For Britain
Given the distressed and TV origins of the present Dinnington Colliery Band I feared that this CD might be a worthy buy to support the band but a bit short on quality. Read more
